Kittrell v. Hancock

Court of Appeals of Mississippi

Decided October 7, 2014No. 2013-WC-01045-COAPublished

1Opinion of the Court

MAXWELL, J., for the Court:

¶1. Joseph Kittrell filed for workers’ compensation benefits after he claimed he hurt his back working as a pipefitter for W.S. Red Hancock. Hancock denied Kitt-rell suffered a work-related injury and contested the claim. After hearing testimony from Kittrell, his supervisors, and coworkers, the administrative judge (AJ) and Mississippi Workers’ Compensation Commission found Kittrell had not suffered a work-related injury and denied disability benefits. Our review shows the Commission’s decision is supported by substantial evidence, so we affirm.
